Community

The Teaching Materials Center (TMC) is open to all teachers, home schooling parents, and other adults from the community, in addition to Southern Adventist University students, faculty, and staff.

Our weekly story hour provides parents a time to come work on projects while their small children are happily occupied.

Ellison dies are available for use without charge. Construction paper, card stock, colored, copy paper, envelopes, file folders, and other project items are available for a minimal price, if you need them. Copying service is available for eight cents per copy and 24" lamination is available for 40 cents per foot. Please be prepared to pay cash for copying, lamination and other purchases unless you are a Southern student charging more than .50. If you are purchasing items for a school or church, you will need to file with us a copy of your tax exempt certificate.

If you would like to borrow TMC books or other materials, you can apply for a Community Membership. There is a $12 annual fee. Membership is free for Southern Adventist University alumni and retirees. You may fill out an Application for Community Membership here at the TMC.

Check-out is limited to ten items (five items during the summer). We reserve the right to call in items before their due date if they are urgently needed by a University faculty member or student.

Books should be returned promptly. Overdue materials are fined at ten cents per item for each day past due. Patrons owing a fine may not check out more books until the fine is paid. Library privileges may be withheld at the discretion of the librarian.
